Ubuntu Wiki

This page keeps track of the current release status of the ARM Team.

Summary

• lots of fixes went into jasper (out firstboot configuation tool for the preinstalled images)
• TI released it's 3D drivers for omap3 boards under a redistributable license, work has being done by rsalveti to get these packaged and we would really like to see them in the archive before release, testing (together with linaro) is going on.
• Due to bug 633227 we had to revert the use of the full gigabyte on the omap4 images, kernel fixes are being worked on to get full access to all RAM back
• Massive work is being done by the whole team this week to fix issues with sound on the pandaboard, preferably this should be fixed in the ASoC driver, but if this is not possible we would like to add alsa lib quirks (scripts similar to Intel HDA audio under /usr/share/alsa)
• the FTBFS list on qu.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs is largely empty for main (armel) openoffice is still on it and some kde packages that are being worked on are there too. doko is working on openoffice currently.
• Bug 605042) is still under investigation how to solve it.

Expected serious impact for final release (section did not change, leaving here as a general reminder)

• We will get the final hardware for OAMP4 only very late in september or even in early october, it might be necessary that the OMAP4 image release gets delayed
• The above will also likely require late kernel and bootloader package changes and uploads to the archive. since the Hardware does not exist yet it is unprdictable in which amount the impact is.
